Question about Node N130 and HDMI Arc.

Answered
Nico

I'm thinking of buying a Node N130 but I have a question about HDMI Arc. If I hook up my my tv to the HDMI Arc input on the Node, will it automatically switch on and off with the tv or will I have to select it in the app?

    To me the whole ARC and automatic switching was too frustrating to keep using. It switched to incorrect inputs (maybe combination LG TV and N130?) and I turned it off. Much more predictable and reliable.

    On my Sony A1 TV, unable to use the Autosense, because the TV wake up sometimes and catch the signal if you are listening music..

    SONY TVs are tricky and vary from model to model even in the same generation. Review your documentation about 'True' Power Save or Power Management in your SONY Manual. SONY TVs rarely actually go into a stand-by mode.

    Yes, i found the "Magic" option to avoid the TV wakes up every hour... it's in Settings -> Network&Internet -> Domestic network settings -> Control IP -> You need to enable simple IP Control. If it's not enable, the TV wakes up when receive specific IP datagram and try to decode internal function in it. Useless.

    I have enable the Auto Sense, but when i play music (on the file share for example), i pause the music, the Amp Standby 10 minutes later... if i switch on the TV / AppleTV, the Amp don't wake up, i have to manually switch to HDMI. In this case the Auto Sense should work i thinks, but it's not.

    Hi Sylvain - Progress!

    Let's see if we can get you all the way home. Please select Settings, Send Support Request in the App so our Support Crew may review your log file. Mention the TV and how far you did get in the description and one of our SME experts can review why Auto Sense may not be triggering.

    Let me share the support answer for Autosense:

     

    It's important to note that the Autosense functions by sensing the Optical or HDMI Input going from an Off to an On state but it cannot Autosense when you switch to say streaming Tunein, Spotify, Tidal, your Library, or AirPlay and then want to Autosense back to your CD Player or TV, so what you are experiencing is normal.
     
    You can however program an IR Remote to select HDMI Input by following the instructions below:

    *Key Tip would be to set the Power Button on the TV Remote as IR HDMI Selection* That way when you select Power on your remote, the C700 also registers an HDMI Selection
